Snip: I have to admit I was initially a little bit skeptical when I received this newly-launched camera from electronics and computer component manufacturer Acer. From past experience with other companies trying to break into the digital market, I assumed that it would be similar to many other low-cost Chinese import cameras bearing the logos of well-know electronics brands. I have seen a number of such cameras, and they have generally proved to be of extremely poor quality. I?m happy to report however, that I was pleasantly surprised when I unpacked the CU-6530.

You may have heard of Square Enix?s new soft drink elegantly named ?Final Fantasy XII Potion? which was announced 3 month ago. Well today was launch day! The world (well, Japan) has been graced with two versions for you to waist your money on – Final Fantasy XII Potion and Final Fantasy XII Premium Box, The latter is a special three million limited edition box set which includes a 100ml bottle and one of 27 different collectable Final Fantasy XII cards and costs 600 yen (?2.90). The standard Final Fantasy XII Potion is a 120ml bottle for 191 yen (90p). The potion was unveiled to the public late in February at a limited event where Suntory, the beverage company behind the product, sought a ready-made audience of FF fans to test the soft drink out on. The drinks have caused enough fuss in Japan for it to be declared in the national press that the drink ?tasted like a nutritional supplement drink with a fresh aftertaste?. If you ask me this has got to be one of the most bizarre, but at the same time genius marketing campaigns for a game yet. It will be interesting to see if the drink ends up making more money than the game?

Snip: There seems to be a trend lately in the power supply industry, bigger and bigger. Do we need all that power really? Or is part of it for bragging rights of who has the bigger PSU?

Today I have the new RockeTeer 600Watt Gaming Power Supply for review from Spire. I have to say it looks great, and could prove to be an excellent addition to any computer system.

Snip: With the current layout of motherboards based on the nVidia nForce4 chipset, the physical chip is usually located between, or just below, the PCI Express slots. Your only option for an upgrade over the stock chipset cooler is generally another low-profile cooler which might not provide much benefit. Jing Ting has designed a new chipset cooler that takes this into account, and has implemented a heat pipe into their design which takes the bulk of the cooler’s body away from the default location.

Snip: The LG FLATRON L1932P is a midrange 19" LCD display with a quoted 4ms response time. Its native resolution is standard for a 19" display at 1280×1024 which is perhaps a little low for those intent on high resolution gaming but is otherwise ample for pretty much all its potential uses.
